Argh - there's really so much to this MEF stuff and, though I've been buried in it for weeks now, I still feel overwhelmed. I had not included using Microsoft.Composition; so had not seen the extension method at all. Unfortunately, I'm using a static class
to allow me to share my plugin collection between a number of classes and so (I think) the [ImportMany] attribute will not be of use.

I'm really wishing I could have had a chance to have a chat with you about my solution before you left Seattle (I'm just a few hours north) - I feel like there's a simple and 'correct' way to do what I want, but I'm just not getting it. I'd ask to send you
the basics of my framework for your evaluation and recommendation but, since you're no longer on the clock with this stuff, is there someone at MS I could/should talk to?

James, shoot me an email and I can help out, if not I can loop in the right people who can. (Nick we will find you
J ).

Cheers
